I call my main road bike "Black Beauty" and all three bikes are sometimes referred to as "she."

I DO talk to my bikes! I frequently praise Black Beauty and if I have neglected her as I see her sitting in the basement waiting I promise her that we will go out soon. If I take a different bike out I may tell BB "Don't worry, you're still no. 1 and I'll take you next time."

Ok, I am crazy.
